About me:
Phil McMullen, sometimes aka Ptolemy, lives in the West of England and spends his time between rearing chickens and vegetables writing about psychedelic, improvised and experimental rock & folk music. He was the founding editor of the legendary Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine from 1989 to 2005, and nowadays runs the widely respected Terrascope .. website (www.terrascope.co.uk). He is also the founding father of the Terrastock festivals, the next of which takes place... soon (watch this space for details!)

Here's what Nick "Bevis Frond" Saloman had to say about Phil in a recent interview:

"Phil McMullen is one of that rare breed, a music fan who doesn't want to be a musician. Phil is, has been and always will be the kind of guy who is just happy to let the music take him to various faraway places. He has a deep knowledge, immaculate taste, and a startling ability to hear something in an unknown band which convinces him they'll become universally adored. And he's usually right. Phil has championed many unknown artistes, only for them to become huge and no longer accessible to the likes of us. Why no major labels have ever offered him a job as head of A & R is a total mystery to me. Alternatively, if the BBC are looking for someone to take over where John Peel left off, Phil should be high up the list. He's been totally dedicated to The Terrascope for years, a dedication which has severely threatened his family relationships, his life savings, not to mention his sanity. He's been instrumental in organising the wonderful Terrastock Festivals, let's hope they keep going in some shape or form. He's been a good friend to many people who've needed support when their careers have been going nowhere. He's relinquished control of the Terrascope after 15 years, just to give himself a much-needed rest. Remember, all that time he's held down a high pressured job as well. Somehow, I can't see Phil staying out of the scene for too long. He's got too much to offer, too many views, too much enthusiasm. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Phil is a great writer with a brilliant ear for that magical whatever that makes bands big. He's a good guy, and I'm pleased to have been mates with him for so long".

Wolf People @ What's Cookin'

Saturday 1 November 2008

Annoyingly youthful, Wolf People are riding the crest of what is looking suspiciously like a New Wave Of British Prog and Psych. A head-tastic mind-meld of Haight-Ashbury highs and Ladbroke Grove grooves - with some jazzy Charles Lloyd-style flute flown in for good measure - these hairies'll have What's Cookin' regulars idiot-dancing in the aisles! If you've ever got down (or lit up!) to the Dead, Quicksilver, High Tide or Mighty Baby, you sure won't want to miss this. Keep them freaks a-rollin'!

thanks so much phil! likewise x 1000! its about so much more than music. i mean, thats obviously the fuel that starts the car to begin with, but its definitely the people that make it all so beautiful. and definitely the highlight of the weekend was getting to finally meet you. i really did feel like we had known each other for years. i cannot wait for the next time we can hang out. as i mentioned before, it really wont be soon enough.

with love,
